Looking for balance

If I situate my happiness

        before wrath

and affection next to melancholy,

will that give harmony

to my ch’i?

 

Where should I position the mirror

        to reflect the expected?

 

To what corner of my heart

        shall I relegate

        the breaks?

 

Planning every placement

        meticulously

as if achieving balance

is that simple …

Do you know the meaning of the name "Rita"? It is "little gem" - though I don't always sparkle, I thank you for your kind words!

i love this piece...but my reaction to the questions asked?

balance can't be forced, it just happens..it is a flow...an ease with life...just feeling a certain satisfaction with being here on this earth and knowing it means something.

I agree, Jacob. Thank you!

I have no answers to those questions cause I dunno why lol...Balance isnt easy to sustain in such an emotional reactive world. Sometime we just gotta be still and listen. Nice piece here Rita.
